I like that @bruce and @carteLL 

I’ll take Gastelum. He’s gonna be the Cerrone kinda guy that’s wins fights till they’re for the belt. 


Also,only continue to read if you’re CarteLL, good cover. I think they bought it and have no idea imyour other account.

Yes I watched, though it was a great performance from Froes to get the dominant win in Russia.  That Whittaker Adesanya fight had me nervous and flinching every time a strike was swung!! That was the best title fight of the weekend for me.  Atmosphere and size of occasion counts.

@bruce Whittaker needs some much deserved time off to heal from non stop injuries and too many wars.

The Adensanya loss stung as a Whittaker fan, but it takes greatness to surpass greatness. As long as we get 3-4 matches between Adensanya-Whittaker-Costa while these guys can still throwdown in their primes then a great service to mma history will have been paid.

This would be great, no matter how the fights play out they would be incredibly exciting. I feel Gastelum/Romero aren't going to hang with these three guys, and Cannonier is still to be tested against any of the aforementioned fighters. Middleweight has a lot of potential hopefully UFC can capitalize on the opportunities, and the fighters stay healthy.
